There is always more than one way to look at things. There is surface level looking, which can be obvious, there is deeper level looking that can sound mystical, and there is revelation level looking that only the spirit of God can show us.

I was reading Psalm 8 this morning and verse 2 jumped off the page at me. It says, “Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.” I asked the Lord how do infants praise you and I heard, “Their cries are praise to me and those who have died in their infancy are paising me.”

We can look at abortion, SIDS, miscarriages, stillborn birth, or other deaths of children as tragic and for those grieving, it really is. But there is good news in both living infants and ones who are with the Father in heaven. The praise of those infants and children have established a stronghold against our enemies.

My God today, our children/infants who the enemy thought was for his gain, actually set up a stronghold against him, and the praise of those infants and children have silenced the foe and the avenger. I am shouting right here. Yes our prayers are effecting nations, but the praise of every infant and every child that cries is praise to our God and the enemy can’t stop it.

I wonder if all the abortions performed worldwide became a roar of praise that built a stronghold against the enemy for us and silenced the foe and avenger? Wouldn’t it be just like God to take what the enemy intended for evil and turn it around for our good.

Only God can redeem what we see as not redeemable. Only God can use the praise of infants and children to defeat the enemy of nations. What if God and all those infants and kids who are with Him are rejoicing at our liberation in this generation? Only God knows, but the idea of it, just brings a smile to my face.
